Ides of October
black rips the sky
bolts her to a flash
a dry time thunders
somewhere north of fall
brings her colors down
bolts her to a flash
when black tilts the sky

Poem for One Single Impression
One Single Impression posts: Thanks to Tea Leaves 'n' Honey, who offers this week's prompt, conquer.
Ides of October
black rips the sky
bolts her to a flash
a dry time thunders
somewhere north of fall
brings her colors down
bolts her to a flash
when black tilts the sky

It doesn't sound like a very pleasant day!
I do know that October 15 is my sister's birthday. I didn't know it was the Ides of October.
..
love, love, love the words and image! great job :)
Powerful imagery in this. Dark but wonderful.
October is so very hot here!
what has time got to do with blood?
Also don't forget to post your creative works at Monday Poetry Train Revisited each Monday morning!
amazing imagery :)
Love the photo, and the words gave me a jolt .. in some places winter can be so bleak, and the image your words portrayed reminded me of one such winter, where the skies were a shocking black -- and there was no storm on the horizon.
Like the power of this poem created by short punchy elements
Loved the images you bring forth with "black rips the sky bolts her to a flash" and the usage "when black tilts the sky"
Googled on Ides of october for it was new to me.
your use of wording here is great. lovin' your poem. have a wonderful day.
the dry leaves and the cold clouds moving in from the northwest . . . you captured October for me! I especially like the image of the sky bolted by the lightning. Of course, me being me, I see it literally.
I LOVE fractals! I like your poem. My fave line is: "somewhere north of fall"
okay, that line inspired my own poem! hope you don't mind but I used that line as the title because it was the inspiration :-) (if you're interested, you can read it on my blog...) it was a quick write, just came out from deep within. Probably could use some editing. ;-P
These are delectable: “a dry time thunders” and “when black tilts the sky.” Five star : )
.. strong images ..
many thanks ..
the sky is conquered and conquerer--
this is beatiful--really love the image too.
thanks for your commment on my post! you are always so supportive when I try new things...thank you!
lovely poem Tumblewords,
a different take on the prompt...quite difficult for me to interpret, maybe i am used to writing in simple ways...:)
I love, "brings her colors down".
Nicely done Sue, I like where you've taken this prompt. Powerful words.
somewhere north of fall
brings her colors down
Wonderful, Sue. This is so full of whimsical nuance and yet so dynamic.
"somewhere north of fall" captured my imagination too.
darkly dramatic
some skies can be like this
grand piece
Now, this sets the mood for Halloween.
That is so cool! I love the image those words conjure up! Thank you~
